Default Re: 4500 failed RAID5

Ok, Go to the storage tab, then select Raid sets. The def is md0, click on it and the drives will show up related to that set. There you have the option to make the unused drive a spare. Once you do this it may take several minutes before the resync starts, so be patient.

If you have problem with that. Remove the drive you just installed. Take it to a pc and do a quick format with the mfg utility. Now you can HOT SWAP the drive and it will auto resysnc.

Remember. The Guardian OS units are design to be repair without taking them off line. So try to alway hotswap the drives. If you only want to transfer the OS to another drive, power down to install drives.
